How big is it? Better yet what is it?

Looks like odontolite, previously thought to be bone altering to turquoise. A whole skull of it is pretty special.

Sorry, I should have made it put more info on there.


It is a rodent skull partially pseudomorphed to malachite. There upper front teeth are with it and they are also partially pseudomorphed.


It was found with 4 human skeletons that were also mostly pseudomorphed to malachite. They were all dated 12,000 to 15,000 years old and the malachite was identified by the University of Colorado.

Rick - Since you've been able to recover this skull, how about an update?
